Switch off your sperm with this new male birth control
Experience the sinking feeling, that anxious self doubt of “did I leave my balls on?” (a sensation similar to the nagging feeling you’ve left the iron on or the stove but with fewer house fires and more unintended pregnancies)
this looks crazy painful
id rather just have the kid(s)
if i witnessed someone turning their balls off like this id jump out the nearest window tbh……
this is disgusting i don’t want machinery inside my ballsack
Yeah no who’d want this amazing reversible birth control? Let’s just keep forcing birth control on women, making them take pills that literally include side effects like hormonal imbalances, blood clots, heavier and longer bleeding which can lead to anemia, and literally “sudden death”. Because birth control should definitely be the responsibility of women only.
Men are so weak that they can’t stand the thought of something inside their ball sacks. I have an IUD, motherfuckers. I HAD SOMETHING METAL PAINFULLY SHOVED THROUGH MY CERVIX INTO MY UTERUS TO TRY TO PREVENT PREGNANCY. No anesthetic, no numbing. Just a rod right up my cervix. Wanna know what that feels like? Not pleasant. Oh! And I got an IUD because hormonal birth control pills were causing migraines and heart palpitations. But something in your balls? Nah fuck that shit, that sounds invasive.
Y’all over here saying you’d rather have the kids then take the burden of birth control and family planning off your woman and let her continue to suffer with the current forms of birth control that don’t even work 100% of the time? You’d literally rather have to be responsible for a human being for 18 years than get a simple 30 minute procedure on your fucking saggyass ballsack? Are you fucking serious?
I’m just saying it’s better to be shot at by a gun with no bullets than be shot at wearing a bulletproof vest. And the bullet proof vest might kill you even when you’re not being shot at.
Science has been trying to push male birth control for ages and I’m fucking sick and tired of nothing ever getting funding, or getting FDA approval, or getting recognized as a responsibility for everyone, and certainly not just the responsibility of women. Fuck this patriarchy bullshit.
“Hey, take this potentially lifethreatening medicine for literally the next 40 years of your life, because I don’t want to touch my own balls for a half second.”
Yes, men have fewer options for personal birth control, because literally almost every single form of it is rejected by them for ridiculous reasons that are far less than or equal to the discomfort or side-effects involved in birth control methods that involve solely women.
It all boils down to men not giving a fuck about the women they have sex with as long as they aren’t inconvenienced. They would rather a woman take ~40 years worth of pills that can cause a heap of life-threatening health problems, or have invasive surgery, or have an IUD, or or or anything as long as it means they don’t have to do shit. Look at how many men don’t even want to use a condom. I mean, hey, a 30 minute outpatient surgery to install an invisible switch that doesn’t affect their long term fertility at all is too much trouble or too painful. But fuck knows these are the same guys who would tell their girlfriends or wives to go get an IUD or have a tubal ligation like it’s a mani-pedi. Assholes.
“I’m just saying it’s better to be shot at by a gun with no bullets than
be shot at wearing a bulletproof vest. And the bullet proof vest might
kill you even when you’re not being shot at.”Not to mention the bulletproof vest might fail while you’re being shot at
I just wanted to repeat that quote because that, right there, is the best argument-through-metaphor for effective male birth control. But cis dudes don’t want to assume any responsibility irt birth control, and they especially don’t want to use any form of birth control made for THEM because the idea of it makes them uncomfortable. They exaggerate the risks and side effects of pretty much every form of birth control for ppl who generate sperm, yet conveniently ignore the usually far greater risks involved in forms of birth control widely accepted for use by ppl who generate eggs.
Cis dudes seem to be uncomfortable with the idea of birth control that they’re responsible for, that alters their bodies, because cis dudes generally don’t alter their bodies in any way for the benefit of someone else–that’s something cis women and trans/nb people are supposed to do.
The resistance to “male” birth control is dripping in male entitlement and male privilege, all wound up with the bindings of the toxicity and fragility of masculinity.
